You're Slipping Away From Me

Jim Reeves


My eyes are closed and yet i see
You're slipping away from me
Someone else's new charms
Are luring you to his arms

My lips are sealed but my heart knows
A love for someone else in your heart grows
I'm holding to a love that just can't be
You're slipping away from me

A precious love that used to be
It's slipping away from me
And i already miss
The thrill that was in your kiss

I know i'm loving you in vain
With all to lose and nothing left to gain
I'll soon be living with the memory
You're slipping away from me
